If you come from a filmmaking background, you're no stranger to shot lists. Shot lists are exactly what they sound like, itemized lists that break down every shot in your film, including relevant information. Whether you're in charge of shooting your video, or you're handing it off to collaborators, be as detailed as possible in your notes. A little later, you're going to be creating one of your own. Once you've put a shot list together, you need to make a schedule. Just like moving to a new apartment, 360 degree video production always manages to take way longer than you initially expect, so build in plenty of time. After all, you've put in so much work already, it would be a shame not to get the shots that you want. New technology means unexpected problems: cameras overheat, cables get disconnected, batteries run out faster than expected. The point is, you should have backup plans. And worst case scenario, know what you'll cut if you're running out of time.
